Idk kinda looks like a george floyd moment in Iran
I would say to stick to criticizing what you know, because as soon as you try to do “socialist” criticism of the enemies of your state it’s all just narrative manufacturing of consent, it’s just trot shit. You don’t have any power over Iranian politics, the only way a westerner could possibly affect the situation is to throw in with the imperialist bloodthirsty mob and push to breach their sovereignty. It becomes clear when people try to do “critical support” but their critiques are not based in knowledge of the culture and contexts, and you get things like this… western leftists attacking Iran over a made up event of police brutality that they have no business being involved in, right as Iran is mobilizing to assist Armenia and defend against the western-backed Azeris.
